Edward Atkins on, the distinguished
writer on political economy in an
article in Bradstreets journal shows
from the census reports and other
reliable sources that the work
man OF special skill and aptitude who
has been in continuous employment
from 1860 to 1885, in almost any
and every branch OF work, can pur.
chase with the days wages of 1885
and 1885 100 per cent. more food,
fuel, boots and shoes and material
for clothing than could be purchased
with q days wages OF 1865, at which
point the purchasing power of days
labor was nearly or quite at its low
est. The average mechanic, artisan
or operative can purchase 10 to
80 per cent. more, and the common
laborer has gained greatly, although
not in the same proportion; he can
buy with the days wages Of 1886,
spent either In the east or in the west,
about So per cent. more food, fuel
and clothing than he could buy dur
ing the era OF deprecated currency
which had been substituted for the
gold standard under the stress Of war.

The judge OF one OF the district civn

. sharp rebuke in writing to the at
tendants OF his court, who have been
rude to the poor and ignorant liti-
gants frequently brought there, saying
that it is the duty OF thecourt attend
ants, "as official instruments OF even
handed justice, to treat all citizens
alike, regardless OF accidental social
conditions, with undiscriminating
courtesy, and that all inquiries as to
their rights should be answered to the
best OF the attendants ability. This
advice should be applied to all those
who hold official positions, everywhere.

Herald asserts on what it declares to
be authentic statistics that make the
fact clear, have decreased throughout
the United States during the past fif-
teen years from ratio OF Ill to 45

is alleged these figures are deceptive

deaths are attributed by physicians
to other causes. out Of regard to the
feelings OF relatives.

young people are frequently spoken
of. Mrs Logan took many of them

girls with whom she came in contact AS a
| consequence of this boarding house experi-
euce the home life of the senator
and Mrs. Logan has been somewhat

the whole history Of the generals success in

Bancroft's Works.

Tse twenty hrsl volume of Ban. crofl's works continues the history of California. taking it up at the year IS4a, during Alvarado's rule, and dealing with it during the three years intervening between that year and I845. The arrest and exile of Isaac Graham is dealt with in the opening of the volume, and all the facts are brought to bear in elucidating the story of the uprising of the American settlers and their revolt against Span ish rule, under the leadership of Ora ham. Mission annals and Indian af- fairs form the subject matter for a considerable portion of the volume, and the outbreak at los Angeles (then the capitaD is graphically de- picted. The book closes with the ac- count of Fremont's third expedition and the companies of pioneers that came into California. The volume is no less interesting than it's predeces- sors, and will be read with avidlty, especially by those who take special interest in the romantic history of the Pacific coast.
